    No go - tired of winter

    Re: No go - tired of winter Like Vince said 82 here this weekend. Was at the airport (POC) today and heard the water skiers on Puddingstone Lake adjacent to the airport; however, in local mountains snow skiing is great. We get a little variety here!

    FAA & BMI: MUCH AD0-doo about nothing

    Re: FAA & BMI: MUCH AD0-doo about nothing Tyler, If you investigate a bit you'll find that there are many activities/hobbies that have a regulatory agency with which they must deal. Unfortunately, you will find their relationship is often adversarial much like GA and the FAA. I think most...

    Friends don't let friends fly IFR

    Re: Friends don't let friends fly IFR I'm impressed Dr. Brandt. I don't think I'm up for the CFII though. I do remember that getting the IFR rating at 62 was very daunting for me. As Scott mentioned earlier we just don't learn as quickly as we did in our younger years, but all of these examples...

    Friends don't let friends fly IFR

    Re: Friends don't let friends fly IFR IFR training definitely makes you a better pilot. I got my IFR rating at 62 (if you don't think that was hard!!)...I'm glad I did, though.

    Friends don't let friends fly IFR

    Re: Friends don't let friends fly IFR My primary reason for getting my IFR rating was to be able to bust through the "pesky" marine layer here on the West Coast. I agree with John regarding the difficulty in maintaining IFR currency. Where I live it is VFR 90% of the time and it often is not...

    Proud Father

    Re: Proud Father After my son got his ticket a few years back. The first thing he did was get a complex and high power endorsement. My son Joe, like Conor is 6' 5". He loves the Commander and now I'm relegated to the right seat when he flies with me.

    114 Hot Shot

    Re: 114 Hot Shot When Carl converted my 114A to a "Hotshot" we had the opportunity to fly it with just the new exhaust minus the turbo boost. The performance enhancement with just the new exhaust system was very noticeable from a power standpoint as well as improved and more uniform CHT's and...

    What are you listening to?

    Re: What are you listening to? Joel, You're definitely right about that! Phoenix TRACON hates giving pilots flight following. I don't think I've ever been able to get it out of Scottsdale!

    114 Hot Shot

    Re: 114 Hot Shot Carl, This is great news! After seeing your 112 Hot Shot in person, I believe your exceptional attention to detail will provide a superior system to what CAS had been offering. I am definitely interested in your system and I am hopeful that the others members in the fleet will...
